Our History ....The
Health Center was founded in 1965, the first rural health center in the state of Maine. The original East Grand Health Center was
located in one room of the Danforth Town Hall, open one day a week with one medical provider and one public health nurse, serving as a non-profit ambulatory health care center. In 1981 the current health center at the 201 Houlton Road location was built and in operation for five days a week with a part time medical provider and a physician's assistant.

East Grand Health Center serves the the health needs for 15 Maine towns and townships as well as the summer residents of East Grand Lake.

We
are fortunate to have an extremely dedicated and able Board of
Directors, several of whom have remained on the Board since the health
center's inception. They all reside in the community, many are health
center patients, and their insight and judgment has ensured that the
health center continues to grow at a steady and fiscally responsible
rate.
